In our premiere episode of Kids These Days, BPS 101 Superintendent Tom Kim brings together two Batavians from very different chapters of life for an unscripted conversation about what it means to plan for the future.

High school senior Kush Adhvaryu is joined by Craig Foltos, lifelong resident and owner of Foltos Tonsorial Parlor, to discuss the potential of a career in finance, how their generations get their news, and the generational divide around "work-life balance".

From the influence of favorite teachers to the importance of building community connections, this episode explores the "Portrait of a Graduate" in action and what happens when we take the time to slow down and learn from one another.

Kids These Days is a podcast from Batavia Public School District 101, produced in partnership with Area Code: Batavia. New episodes every month.
